This is the bud rosewood (Red Sandalwood) version of our popular ebony set. This truly magnificent chess set is often bought as family room 'display and play' pieces.
Here's a close-up of the knights, truly beautiful! Look closely at the delicate carving of the mane, the curled forelock, long pointed ears and the beautiful colors- each chess piece is a piece of furniture!
